A resident of the central city of Yavne who carried out missions for Iranian terrorist elements was arrested last month, a joint statement from Israel and the Shin Bet announced on Sunday. Moshe Atias, 18, was arrested on suspicion of committing serious security offenses, including collecting intelligence at the cardiology department in a hospital in central Israel while former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was hospitalized there. The investigation revealed that Atias maintained contact with Iranian terrorist elements and carried out numerous missions for them while fully aware of the potential harm to state security, in exchange for financial compensation. Among other things, at the request of his Iranian handler, he provided footage of the hospital floor where Bennett was being treated, including the room with his security guards. Bennett underwent a heart catheterization last month at the Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
